Peaches are in abundance, and you’ll want to take full advantage of the surplus while you can! These delicious and versatile stone fruits can be used in an array of ways to offer summertime sweet treats that everyone will love. So, let’s dive into the five summer peach ideas you’ll be tempted to make immediately!
Peach Cobbler
This classic dessert is a summertime must-have. This peach cobbler is a simple and mouthwatering dessert perfect for a warm summer’s night—especially topped with vanilla ice cream!
The filling is so simple. You only need peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, salt, nutmeg, and almond extract. For the biscuit topping, you can use a Bisquick mix, follow the directions, and top the peach and sugar mixture. Or you can make them from scratch.
Bake until the top is golden and the peaches are nice and bubbly!
Grilled Peaches
Grilled peaches are an absolute dream. Due to their high sugar content, they will caramelize once placed on the grill. You can serve them as is or add them to sweet or savory dishes!
Our favorites are placed atop Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey for a delicious, low-calorie summer dessert!
Fresh Peach Sorbet
Unlike ice cream, sorbet can be made in your home without an expensive machine. You only need fresh peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and water!
All you need to do is place the peaches and sugar into a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend or process until you have a very smooth consistency. Once you do, add a touch of lemon juice to taste. Stick in your freezer until firm. Serve with a mint sprig for a fancy, fresh dessert.
Rustic Peach Tart
This is what summer baking is all about. It comes together in minutes and is perfect with a big dollop of sweet whipped cream. To make the crust, combine sugar, flour, and butter until it has a nice crumb. Chill for an hour before rolling out into a 12-inch circle.
To make the filling, combine fresh peach slices with sugar, lemon juice, salt, and cornstarch. Once you have the filling, place it into the center of the crust and crimp up the edges to make a freeform pie crust dish.
Bake on a sheet pan until the center is bubbly and the crust appears golden and flaky.
Peach Yogurt Parfait
This recipe is super easy yet oh so delicious. You can even prep these peach yogurt parfaits and keep them in the fridge for quick desserts, breakfast sides, or lunches!
In an airtight container, place a layer of Greek yogurt, freshly sliced peaches, and a drizzle of honey. Repeat this until you fill the container and top with sweet granola and extra sliced peaches!
